If you haven't upgraded to Windows 7 yet, hold off.

#1 - if it's that far off? Upgrade.

#2 - if their current schedule of release is any indication - you'll want to hold off until Windows 9 anyway.

98 (ok), me (garbage), xp (ok), Vista (garbage), 7 (ok), 8.... well, you get my point. Winblows has ALWAYS had that pattern. I don't see it stopping now.

Their garbage releases are really just like live world beta versions to get bugs out.

True! I stayed with '95 for a LONG time before I finally moved to '98 (reluctantly). I even remember 3.1!

since evryone thinks most of windows os is garbage what would you reccomend upgrading to? im on vista right now and never really have had problems, (or the logic to recognize that its a vista problem) i think its something that i am unaware of and id like to learn about. the only 2 OS's i know of are Windows and Apple (mac/whatever)

I used Vista for years (literally) - it had some bugs and lacked features that 7 had. It also wasn't backwards compatible with legacy equipment at all really... such a HUGE problem. Vista forced people to upgrade / buy new PC's to handle that beast. I have an old machine with Windows 7 on it that ran beautifully, but wouldn't handle Vistas shit at all.

I'd recommend just upgrade to 7. It's really solid and is nicely backwards compatible with tons of things and actually works to make older machines perform better.

If you want to try something really different, try Linux. Go with Ubuntu - very familiar if you're used to Windows environments, and it will teach you about computers/drivers a bit more too. And... best of all? No virus'! But do NOT put it on a gaming machine. Pain in the butt working with WINE (well, is okay) but video drivers can be problematic.
